Trip to Istanbul :: Short and sweet escapade

Assalamualaikum,

Pagi tadi masa cakap dengan Am, dia ingatkan pasal tempat terakhir yang kitorang sempat melawat masa dekat Europe exactly one year ago. Then I baru teringat, rupa-rupanya I tak sempat nak commemorate the photos dalam blog ni lagi. So, here we go! Let's recall our trip to a place that sits on both European and Asian lands, that is Istanbul in Turkey. Ohh well, after a series of adventures travelling to a few European capitals, Istanbul has by far became the city that I love the most.

Kitorang sampai sana malam dalam pukul 9 macam tu, at Sabiha Gotchen Airport (the Asian side of Istanbul). Ada lagi satu airport dekat the European side nama Mustapha Kamal Attaturk Airport. So if you are planning to visit Istanbul, be happy to find any cheap airline that lands in one of these. InsyaAllah senang je nak sampai ke city centre.

Dari airport pulak, kitorang naik bas untuk ke city centre. It took us nearly two hours to reach Taksim Central from the airport. Padahal tak jauh mana pun, tapi the traffic was very bad on the night we arrived, so merasalah kitorang redah traffic jam di kota Istanbul. huahuahua. Tapi kannn, Istanbul is surprisingly a thoroughly modern city where we can see ancient grandeur meets contemporary design. Super love!
